Wednesday, January 19 2022 | 11 h 24 min | News, Press Release
CooperVision and its Specialty EyeCare unit will present a comprehensive portfolio of products, services and resources at the 2022 Global Specialty Lens Symposium (GSLS). Several professional educational sessions will champion the company’s latest contact lens innovations and evidence-based research in myopia control, myopia management, and irregular cornea. The annual event takes place in Las Vegas from January 19-22.
“CooperVision is dedicated to creating greater access to life-changing eye care technologies that address even the toughest vision challenges,” said J.C. Aragón, President, CooperVision Specialty EyeCare. “Our unmatched portfolio of innovative lens designs for myopia management, irregular cornea, and presbyopia management, empowers eye care professionals to differentiate themselves while positively impacting the lives of their patients.”
Innovations in Myopia Management and Myopia Control
With exponential growth in attention surrounding myopia progression in children, CooperVision will emphasize its extensive portfolio of leading contact lenses at GSLS. Attendees will have the opportunity to learn more about MiSight® 1 day for myopia control, and Paragon® CRT and iSee® ortho-k lenses for myopia management.
The company will also share the recently announced seven-year results from its international MiSight® 1 day clinical study. Mean axial elongation showed no evidence of rebound, meaning that myopia control treatment gains were retained after treatment was ceased over a 12-month period.
On Thursday, January 20, and Friday, January 21, CooperVision will lead multiple discussions surrounding myopia management, including:
